Look I don't mean to be a disrespectful asshole here, but is this sort of a thing reaaally that big of a deal breaker or a problem? Is it that impossible for you to just play the game in the language the developers made it in and embrace the world of the game that way? I'm not from an English speaking country either and the game doesn't support my first language in any way but I don't care at all about that. In fact even if it was an option, I'd much prefer to play it in English anyway because that's the authentic experience, having it in my own language would make it extremely unimmersive and quite frankly, for the lack of a better word, awfully cringy in my opinion.

As you can probably tell, the OPs English isn't the best. Understanding the more complex parts of the game would be pretty difficult for someone who isn't fluent in English.

The OP's English seems to be non-existent. I'm fairly certain he is just using Google translate to communicate. I don't believe he can speak the language at all.

They needed to fucking remake the entire Mass Effect Trilogy in Chinese YESTERDAY. My dad is a Mandarin-speaker and a major sci fi fan - he doesn't watch anything but sci fi. This game would've helped me connect with him!!!

If someone could tweet Aaryn Flynn with that thread link ?
I'm not sure what else to do also EA needs to stop drinking and send people to Facebook or twitter to contact Bioware.
I don't mind helping people but if they start sending customers here for technical issues and the likes, why don't they pay for a new official forum.

Is the OP asking for Language support? If so, then I'd be surprised if Mandarin support is NOT already in the game. That's a huge market.

As far as I know there is no Chinese language support for MEA, that's why fans in China are planning to do their own localization patch after it's released.

On the one Chinese ME forum linked by OP, currently there are 38,735 registered users, 2,107,517 posts. Shame on EA that they're totally ignoring such a potential market.

How the fuck does it rustle anyone's jimmies to have Mandarin support for Mass Effect?

Some of the responses here seem like it's a personal offense to want to have more language support being an option, and honest to god, I don't understand why.

Yes, if Mandarin Chinese isn't already a supported language, it absolutely should be. That's a HUGE market, and an absolutely glaring oversight on Bioware's part.

Damnation is delightful. Everyone should try it.

I think it's unwritten rule of the internet somewhere, that if anyone makes a perfectly reasonable suggestion on a gaming forum that someone else will act like that request somehow personally inconveniences them.

It's weird. There is no reason for anyone to be opposed to the OP's request, but that won't stop some people from complaining.

Do you speak an Indo-European language with extensive Latin, Greek and French vocabularies ?

Oh yes! Here's why. The Chinese will find a way to invade this product, overwhelm it with what... prison inmates this time around? Lack of originality can always be overridden with massive investment right? *snort* If you can't innovate simply overwhelm with sheer numbers... right?

Fucking pathetic.

感謝您發布您的問題。這是一個非正式的論壇，不由BioWare運行，所以我們沒有你的答案。我們不知道和不能控制遊戲。對於那個很抱歉。

正確的地方要問是EA答案：

answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Andromeda/ct-p/mass-effect-andromeda-en

祝你好運，我希望你喜歡的遊戲以任何格式，你可以訪問。

Thank you for posting your question. This is an unofficial forum not run by BioWare so we do not have the answer for you. We don't know and have no control over the game. Sorry about that. :-/

The correct place to ask is EA ANSWERS:

answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Andromeda/ct-p/mass-effect-andromeda-en

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the game in whatever format you can access.

更新：

我已經檢查了EAANSWERS網站，很明顯中國本地化不是一個正式的選擇。事實上，他們似乎正在刪除提出非正式解決方案的帖子。

Reddit也討論過這個問題似乎沒有答案。

I have checked the EAANSWERS site and it appears clear that Chinese localization is not an official option. In fact they appear to be deleting posts that propose unofficial solutions.

Reddit have also discussed the matter with seemingly no answer.

大家好，一个星期过去

我的意图是ME可以使用中文，而不是让EA委托中国运营商操作。如果有中国运营商来运营，他们会毁灭整个游戏。而中国对游戏行业的审计将会在游戏中削减很多东西。

我看到有人说中国人总是破解游戏，其实我们只有一个中文补丁在ME。我希望我们能在中国使用中文，而不是我们的补丁

Hello everyone, a week gone
My intention is that ME can use Chinese, rather than let EA commissioned by the Chinese operators to operate. If there are Chinese operators to operate, they will destroy the whole game. And the Chinese audit of the game sector will cut a lot of things in the game.
I see someone say that the Chinese people always crack the game, in fact, we only have a Chinese patch on the ME. I hope we can use Chinese on ME, not by our patch

In China, some people still like Mass Effect, we want to use Chinese

The following picture is attached to the EA customer service and I talk to the Chinese mainland compared to the ME forum
